@bardboytroy: Snow White: a hero of the Great Depression. Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) is often remembered for its technical innovations, but at the time, its story and message of hope was a highly regarded one. #snowwhite #snowwhiteandthesevendwarfs #disney #media #analysis

snow white is a young teenage girl (14 iirc) with a miserable life and yet remains hopeful, happy, generous, optimistic, and unconditionally kind despite all of the hardship she experiences and i think thats extremely admirable

I never thought of it that way before I always thought it was kind of sexist to assume that Disney princesses were just waiting around for a guy, but I never dug much deeper than that. Thank you for this video

as times pass people often seem to disregard the context that the princesses were originally created. they don't put themselves in the shoes of the original audience and therefore they only pass judgement without understanding what the message was.

People see kindness and traditionally feminine traits as weakness and then will call you misoginistic for disagreeing.

Yes, exactly! People need to consider the context in which these movies came out. Even if people today may not be looking for a character like Snow White, she was the perfect character for the people watching in 1937

being positive and lively being seen as "weak" is so stupid. positivity and love are some of the most powerful things out there!

Even though she's a princess, I feel she's also the most normal girl of the group. No special powers, no magic, no unique knowledge. she's just a young girl making the best of a bad situation. Themes I think were perfected in Cinderella.

dare i say it's hated on more for its importance of community because of the push for hyper-independence and the shame of needing others that is prevalent right now

why is 'passive' has become almost a slur against female characters? why can't we appreciate well-written passive female characters? sometimes female characters in tough circumstances have little to no agency, and that shouldn't turn to victim-blaming.

Beautiful analysis. I love it when a creator articulates something that I’ve long sensed but couldn’t put into words.

i hate the “protagonist couldn’t save themselves!” argument. So many good emotional climaxes are achieved BECAUSE the protag has help. It don’t mean they are weak. it means they are strong enough to receive help at their lowest.

I watched this movie for the first time this year. SNOW WHITE IS LITERALLY A LITTLE GIRL. like i knew she was supposed be 14 but was shocked at how genuinely she was written as a young teenager. and the whole movie takes place in like a day and a half [Crying] she didnt even have TIME to wait for a prince she just wanted to not get murdered lmfao and shes so cute and sweet. hate is so freaking unwarranted

Also people like to say Snow White was reduced to a housewife because she cooks and cleans for the dwarves. But if YOU were living in someone else’s house rent free and couldn’t contribute money (as Snow White is cut off from her royal wealth) you would offer to do labor! Chores! Washing, sweeping and cooking! Exactly what she offers the dwarves! They obviously need it considering they work sunrise to sunset every day!

I feel like people don’t see her resourcefulness, kindness, or hard work as admirable and plot-driving characteristics because the way she presents those traits is traditionally feminine. I always defend her: she pulls herself out of a panic attack in the woods alone after almost being killed, bargains for a place to stay by using her skills, creates community and also happens to be in love!! Plus she’s kind which is a STRENGTH. She only starts cleaning the dwarves’ house because she sees the tiny furniture and assumes children live there all alone and neglected😭 she’s a gem

Yessss, omg, I’m glad you mentioned the era she came from. Snow White really is a product of the Great Depression. Yes, there’s many things we can point out about her character from a modern lens, but considering the time this film was released in she was a genuinely important character for a lot of people regarding work

Her and Mulan were always my favorites which is ironic cause they kinda sit on opposite ends of femininity. But idc I love her! She’s so adorable to me 🥰
